Well *I* don't wish I was a lesbian, personally (although it's a nice idea)... but there's some anime characters who really do wish they were lesbians because, let's face it, guys suck. Especially anime guys.
This video is a comedy about the benefits of being a lesbian.
I had the idea way back in spring 2002 and was going to try and make the video for AWA 2002. I didn't so the next plan was for Otakon 2003... and then I missed the deadline. So, this became my entry for the AWA Professional Contest.
In a sense, this is a homage to a lot of old comedy videos such as DokiDoki works, Hungry Like the Wolf (lupin) etc etc. It's also a serious attempt at lip synch which is something I've always found very very hard to do.
Lyrics:
I wish I was a Lesbian and not a hetero,
I wouldn't have to mess with men and all their come and go
and all that awful facial hair and yucky machismo!
Ooooh I wish I was a lesbian and not a hetero.
I wish I was a lesbian and that I wasn't straight,
I would sleep with women only, man it would be great!
I could throw away my diaphragm I wouldn't wanna mate!
Ooooh I wish I was a lesbian and that I wasn't straight, hey!
I wish I was a lesbian I'd like to be a dyke,
I would hang with K.D. Lang, Mel Gibson take a hike,
I think it would be nice to love someone who was alike.
Ooooh I wish I was a lesbian I'd like to be a dyke.
I wish I was a lesbian that's why this song is sung,
it shouldnt' have to matter how someone is hung,
other things are more important - like how you use your tongue!
blblblblbl I wish I was a lesbian that's why this song is sung, hey!
(I dare Casey Casem to play this)
I wish I was a lesbian I know it's sad but true,
then maybe I'd understand you guys and all you do,
but if I was a lesbian I wouldn't have to!
I wish I was a lesbian I know it's sad but true, hey
I wish I was a Lesbian and not a hetero,
I wouldn't have to mess with men and all their come and go
and all that awful facial hair and yucky machismo!
(I hate that damn machismo)
Ooooh I wish I was a lesbian and not a hetero.
I wish I was a lesbian and not a hetero.
I wish I was a lesbian and not a heterooooooo.
